dana can tell you better than i but she's busy right now, obviously. the problem in the senate is that there are a lot of democrat from republican leaning so-called red states that basically have to walk the plank to take that vote because they have so many sportsmen, hunters who use it for legitimate purposes who don't like the idea of a government trying to take their guns away. and then move over to house of representatives, it's controlled by republicans, unlike 1994 when the house was controlled by democrats and even then the gun ban passed on a very close vote. so this proposal, frankly, has a very tough road to hoe and it may be that if they put something out there and try to encourage people who support gun rights to go ahead and vote for it, they will end up with something that they can sell politically to the country even though it might not be able to get to the congress. people say go after the ammunition or go after stopping people who are mentally ill from getting guns, do some things that are a little bit easier to get agreement on. >> a
